SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDOOR LOCALIZATION USING MOBILE INERTIAL SENSORS AND VIRTUAL FLOOR MAPS

摘要

The invention provides an indoor localization system and method for locating an electronic mobile device within an indoor environment. The indoor localization system comprises a moving status module adapted to compute the moving status of the electronic mobile device based on the analysis of data received from inertial sensors of the electronic device; a floor map processing module adapted to obtain a virtual floor map of the indoor environment; a basic map database module adapted to save the processed floor map; and a location correction module being adapted to determine the current location of the electronic mobile device based on the computed moving status and to correct the determined current location based on the virtual floor map.
